Think what you like Eric, I don't give a toss. I'd prefer my head to be up my arse than to have a stagnant mind that's closed to anything innovative and new, and anyone young.

As I said earlier, our club's anything but dead. It's packed to the rafters every time with happy people presumably, by your 'standards', with their heads up their arses, enjoying the music whether it's accompanied or unaccompanied, 'Traditional' or 'Contemporary'. We welcome all performers, irrespective of their style, and we go out of our way to encourage young performers like Lucy Wright & Paul Smith, local youngsters and two of the brightest 'new faces' I've heard for a long time (and they do Traditional too!). No moaners and groaners, no FNs. If that's having one's head up one's arse, then the further the better as far as I'm concerned.

Don't come, you'd hate it.
